About this property

Pajaro Dunes Resort: 1 Bedroom Ocean Front Getaway!

This lovely Pajaro Dunes beach condo features luxurious accommodations in a perfectly calm setting. Ideally located on Monterey Bay between Santa Cruz and Carmel, this ocean oasis offers the perfect relaxing adult haven. Our condo faces Monterey that give amazing sunrise views.

The miles of secluded, pristine beach are perfect for building sandcastles, dolphin and whale-watching, or getting lost in a good book while listening to the waves crash on the shore. After a breathtaking sunset, cozy up around a beach bonfire and spot a shooting star beneath the sparkling night sky.

Outdoor enthusiasts love bird watching in the lagoons and hiking in the bluffs, and fitness mavens enjoy the tennis facilities and jogging through the nature paths.

The gorgeously furnished 1 bedroom condo comfortably sleeps 2 adults. The master bedroom features direct access to the ocean side deck and an extremely comfortable queen-size bed. The bathroom has been beautifully remodeled with touchless faucet and walk in shower. Enjoy watching the ocean waves out the living room window or cozy up on the couch to enjoy a movie or show on the television in the living room with cable and DVD player available for your use.

All pillows, linens, towels and beach towels are provided, and the kitchen is fully supplied with cookware, bake-ware, small appliances, a microwave, and dishwasher. The washer/dryer is also available to all guests. An electric barbecue grill is located on the deck for grilling.

This is a premium condo offering remodeled upgrades throughout the entire condo! Relax in a comfortable home right above the sand!

Parking is plentiful, and is just steps from the front door. The condo is on the third floor, and we have luggage carts to help assist from the ground to second level, just a small flight of stairs to the third! It is situated on the north end of the building, and the sand is down a short, 30-second walkway and approximately 10 steps down.

Things to do around Monterey Bay:

For the curious – we encourage you to visit The Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Mission at Carmel or the Mission at San Juan Bautista, Fisherman's Wharf in Monterey, or downtown Carmel.

For the connoisseurs – you'll want to schedule time for wine tasting at the many wonderful wineries found along the Monterey Coast (including Bonny Doon Vineyard, Soquel Vineyards, and Estancia), or satisfy your taste buds for fresh seafood and locally-grown vegetables at any one of a myriad of nearby restaurants and produce markets.

For the shoppers – there are literally hundreds of charming boutiques and stores throughout Santa Cruz, Capitola, Monterey, and Carmel.

For the sports enthusiasts – Spend family fun playing Pickle Ball or basketball with courts located on site. Stop by our lobby where we offer an assortment of loaner sports equipment for our renters including pickle ball sets! There is tennis, biking, and beach volleyball right here at Pajaro Dunes, plus some of Northern California's premier golf courses are an easy drive away or explore & hike Big Sur, or kayak in Moss Landing to enjoy the sights of the Central Coast.

For the contented – stretch yourself out on the warm beaches of Pajaro Dunes, enjoy the cool ocean breezes, and make sure you take in one of our serene suns.

This unit was absolutely amazing! Steps from the beach, away from all the hustle and bustle but still close enough to not dread the car ride. Check-in was easy and the staff was incredibly kind. Unit itself was clean and everything in working order. The views are amazing from the main room and bedroom. Thank you!

Ocean Front
The location was fantastic with ocean front views, front and center and on the top floor!! However, a grill for BBQ'ing the local catch was missing and could use some updating. But the location and views are PRIME... and quiet. Felt like we were the only ones there.

Lovely quiet getaway
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay! The ocean views were lovely and falling asleep to the sound of waves was fantastic. Everyone working in the property office and security gate were so polite and welcoming. If you’re looking for a place to stay that is away from city life but near plenty of places for day trips, I highly recommend!

Ocean View
After hours check-in was a challenge. Initially, there was no one at the gate. I had to call for help. Directions to the unit wasn't very clear. They got us to the building, but we had to look around in the dark until we found our unit. The rest of our stay was excellent. Loved, loved the ocean view.

Restful stay on the beach
I stayed in Shorebirds in a 1 bedroom top floor condo facing the sea. There is 1 flight of stairs to walk up, but it is worth it for the view and the open air above you when you are on the balcony. The inside was beautifully decorated and the furniture and fittings were in good order. The bathroom was particularly tasteful. All in all, a very comfortable condo with superb views; there were even sea otters visible from the balcony only a few feet from the beach. I stayed in early June so it was not busy, however someone close by kept slamming a door one day and the noise and vibration were easily heard and felt in my condo so that may be an issue at busy periods. Although no glass is allowed on the beach, I found (and removed) broken bottles on two separate days; a shame because it is a lovely long beach to walk on.

Hidden Gem
This is the second time we stayed at this complex. It truly a hidden gem. The entire staff is super organized and accommodating, the unit we stayed in was well equipped and had the best view. The beach is amazing you can walk for hours! If you are considering Pajaro Dunes don’t hesitate. BUT if you do. Book directly through the resort. VRBO fees are exorbitantly high, they are not itemized and I have now received yet another that I don’t know what it is for 3 weeks after my trip with absolutely no explanation. and as I try to send a email when I go into the inbox, it will not load so I cannot even send an inquiry to find out what this charge is for. It’s completely frustrating.

Be An Informed Consumer
Beautiful views, quiet and remote location. Front desk staff at Pajaro Dunes were very helpful and courteous. Our challenge was with VRBO, in that our bill nearly doubled once “Fees” were added! The link on the VRBO website we were provided to ask the owner any questions evidently didn’t work, because my emails asking why our bill nearly doubled went unanswered. The Pajaro people explained that because we booked through VRBO, instead of through them directly, they were unable to answer any questions about the fee. We stayed 4 weeknights in early Nov. (not peak season) and our total was around $1,100 before taxes and fees. They surprised us with an added $866. extra in fees and taxes! These are the positives and negatives about unit G-235 Positives: Beautiful views 2 nice chairs on deck Spacious bedroom closet Comfortable bed Two nice size dressers with ample drawers Newish kitchen & bathroom Negatives: The entry would be very challenging for seniors that are not active. The extensive ramp is winding and most all is uphill, leading to 15 steep steps. There are wheelbarrow-like carts to roll up your suitcases and groceries from the parking lot, but then you have the 15 steps to carry everything yourselves. There is only 1 small tv in the LR with 2 remotes with no instructions for use. We found a total of 4 hangars total in the condo. There is 1 lamp at the end of a couch for the entire living room, and 1 bedside nightstand with one lamp in the bedroom. No overhead light and no bedside table or lamp on the other side of the bed The only mirror in the entire condo is a small framed mirror over the bathroom sink. The bathroom sink is a huge square-edged glass bowl that sits on top of the sink vanity. (There is no way to get close to it to put on makeup). Per VRBO the fireplace was condemned which we found out after we rented it, yet there was a “Simplifire” remote to turn on the fireplace on the fireplace mantel. (Nothing in the condo saying not to use the fireplace!) None of the negatives was a huge deal, but all together for the price we paid it was disappointing. The online description lists it as having “luxurious accommodations” which is (in our opinion) not accurate.

Will rent again
We booked The room as nonrefundable. A few days later we got an email from the property management company saying that the fire place was condemned and could not be used. That really should have been disclosed in the ad. Other than that we had an absolutely wonderful stay. We loved how quiet the property was. We have already decided we will make this an annual trip.

Our weekend getaway was amazing. Loved the beautiful ocean view and sound of the waves through two sliding glass doors one in the bedroom and one in the living room. We BBQ'd dinner both nights and spent time relaxing and enjoying the view. Thank you!!!
